Combat Dry Air and Protect Your Health with Aprilaire Humidifiers
Dry air isn’t just uncomfortable—it can negatively impact your health and home. Whether
you’re dealing with the winter chill or using indoor heating, the air in your home can
become dangerously dry. Maintaining the right humidity levels is essential for your comfort,
well-being, and the protection of your property.
The Dangers of Dry Air
During the colder months, without the right humidification, your home can become a
breeding ground for issues caused by low humidity levels. From dry skin to irritated
sinuses, the dry air draws moisture from everything in your environment—including your
body.
Common Symptoms of dry air:
- Dry, Flaky, and even cracked Skin
- Respiratory Irritation as a result of dry throat, nasal congestion, and coughing as dry
air irritates the airways - Red, itchy, or dry eyes especially for people who wear contact lenses
- Increased Static Electricity
- Dehydration: You may feel thirsty or experience symptoms like dry lips and a dry
mouth - Weakened Immune Response as Mucous membranes in the nose and throat can
dry out, reducing their ability to trap germs effectively
But the problem doesn’t stop there. Research shows that dry air can also encourage the
growth of viruses, increasing the likelihood of colds, flu, and respiratory infections.
The American Society of Otolaryngology notes that insufficient humidity makes
individuals more vulnerable to infection.
Why Humidity Matters
Maintaining the right humidity in your home has several health benefits. Proper indoor
humidity levels:
- A humidifier helps add moisture to the air, relieving these symptoms and improving
respiratory health. - Humidifiers help keep your skin hydrated, especially during the colder months when
indoor heating can dry out the air. - Moist air can make breathing more comfortable, reducing snoring or congestion,
and promoting better sleep. - humidifier can help create a more favorable environment for the plants
- A humidifier benefits animals by improving their respiratory health, preventing dry
skin, and supporting a shiny coat, especially in dry environments. It is particularly
essential for exotic pets like reptiles and tropical birds, which require specific
humidity levels to thrive and stay healthy.
Did you know that the average North American home can have humidity levels up to 4
times lower than recommended? This can lead to increased discomfort and health issues,
especially in the colder months

The Benefits of Using a Humidifier in Your Home
Humidifiers offer several significant advantages, particularly in homes with dry indoor air.
Here’s why investing in a humidifier can improve your quality of life:
- Health Benefits: Dry air can irritate your skin, throat, and nasal passages, leading to
issues like dryness, coughing, or sinus discomfort. - Skin Care: Dry air can cause or worsen skin problems like eczema or flaky skin.
- Comfort and Sleep: Dry air can make breathing more difficult, increase snoring or
congestion, and as a result decreased productivity - Plant Care: air leads to higher evaporation rates, damage their leaf tissues, leading
to browning or crisp edges, low down photosynthesis and other vital processes,
which affects overall growth. - Animal care: dry air causes the animals to lose moisture, and dehydration. Irritate
their respiratory system, cracked, itchy and flaky skin. The effect can be more
serious if the natural habitat of the animal requires certain humidity - Protection for Your Home: Dry air can damage wood furniture, floors, and even
musical instruments by causing them to crack or shrink. A humidifier helps maintain
a stable humidity level to protect these items.
